2. RE: Task in a table not linking to Project

Linked to a project means the reference field on the tasks table to the Projects table has the value of the primary key of the project record. This happens correctly when you click the Add Task button on the projects form, (provided it has not been changed incorrectly) But when you try to associate a task to a project, make sure the reference field is populated with the primary key of the correct project. Hope that helps.
